Four of Cups (Upright) | Tarot Card
The Four of Cups encourages us to recognize the abundance of blessings present in our lives at this very moment.
The Four of Cups serves as a gentle nudge to bring your focus back to the present. It urges us to experience the richness of our lives as it unfolds, rather than getting entangled in worries of the future or echoes of the past.
The Four of Cups encourages us to recognize the abundance of blessings present in our lives at this very moment. This card is a reminder to ground yourself in the present and cherish what you have right now. Sometimes, we get so engrossed in our dreams and desires for the future, or in our nostalgia and regrets of the past, that we overlook the richness available to us in the present moment.
Thinking too far ahead or dwelling on things long past can rob you of now. The present is where life is happening! This current moment is also loaded with abundance, blessings and positive energy. Are you being open to receiving it? Right now, is the moment to start seeing your gifts and blessings.

Are you focused and worried about the future?
Are you shutting down with a numb heart because of the past and you fear being hurt again? Is something distracting you from seeing the multitudes of miracles and blessings present in your life?
The Four of Cups shows a sulking man, sitting under a tree. He is fixated on three earthbound cups. These could represent his worldly acquisitions (money, reputation, and image). He is not acknowledging a miracle right behind him! An angelic hand is reaching out of a cloud and is offering him a divine gift. Not only is he not open to accepting (his arms are in a crossed, closed position), he is unable to see it.
Western culture tells us to be constantly worried. Even when we aren't running around at our jobs our minds are still running. Constantly planning. Avoiding pitfalls. Constantly pushing to be better. Endlessly striving. This is just fear in disguise. Fear of being hurt by something. Fear of being caught unaware. Fear of the past repeating itself. Fear of rejection. Fear of loss. Fear, fear, and more fear. Have you ever heard the saying that "Fear robs you of the joy of the present?" Well it does! And the more you engage in it, the more blind you get.
The man in the card isn't happy. If the golden cups represent "gifts," he already has three in his possession, and there is another on the way. He is not open to receiving because he has "closed down." Look at his posture, he is guarding his heart. Some major pain from the past must have happened to him. His whole present is focused on how to prevent that hurt from happening again. As a result, he has closed access to his heart and to his ability to receive. He is lost in projections that aren't there. All he needs to do is look around him. Think how ecstatic he would be if he only noticed the gift being delivered especially for him from above!
The Four of Cups urges you to accept, receive and open yourself to the good things being offered to you at this moment.
If someone tries to do something nice for you say, "Thank you so much," not "No, no, you don't have to do that." Look around you right now. Do you see the colors surrounding you? Do you hear the sounds? Do you see light everywhere? Take a deep breath, let it in. What is wonderful right now about your life?
Open yourself to all the good that occurring. If you shift your focus to blessings, more will come.
